3 1. Introduction to Release R3 The recruitment process begins with the identification and definition of a vacancy. This includes developing/updating the role description and, for new academic-related and assistant staff vacancies, the grading of the post. Posts which are graded are set up in CHRIS (the HR and Payroll System) by the HR Division. The new Recruitment Administration System (RAS) is used to: Find the details of a vacancy that exists in CHRIS (posts which have been graded or are being refilled); or Record the vacancy details for a new academic or research post (these are not individually graded so are not set up in CHRIS at this point). Permission to fill a vacancy is then requested and granted in RAS. Once all required permissions for a vacancy have been obtained, it can be advertised on the University Jobs Pages and in external media. In RAS, a department/institution records whether or not the application method for a vacancy will be using the University s Web Recruitment System. Where the Web Recruitment System is to be used, RAS will: Insert an Apply online button on the advert for the vacancy on the Job Opportunities pages; and Insert a URL in external adverts for the vacancy, which routes to the relevant advert on Job Opportunities. This first release of the Web Recruitment System focused on: Allowing applicants to apply on-line via the University Job Opportunities pages; Automatically acknowledging applications; Allowing recruiters/administrators to manage and record the results of the selection process; Allowing recruiters to view the data; and Transferring the successful applicant(s) into CHRIS. The second release of the Web Recruitment System focused on: Allowing applicants to copy personal details, qualifications and employment history from a previous application; Allowing recruiters to send rejection s and letters to applicants; Allowing recruiters to send electronic and manual reference requests; and Allowing referees to upload their reference into the system.

4 Release R3 of the Web Recruitment System focuses on: Allowing recruiters to select and applicants (at Offer stage) who need to provide information for a Tier 2 Certificate of Sponsorship; Allowing applicants to log back into their Web Recruitment account to enter the additional Tier 2 CoS information; Allowing recruiters to download the applicant details required for a Tier 2 CoS so that it can be attached to the rest of the CoS application and submitted to the Compliance Team for processing; Automated marking of an application as eligible for purging 12 months after the vacancy closes (including extended deletion dates for those vacancies where CoS retention policies apply), Allowing Super Users to mark a vacancy is a purging exception; Automated deletion of un-submitted applications two months after the vacancy closing date, Retaining anonymised data for future trend analysis and management reporting; Allowing applicants to enter Basic disclosure information when a vacancy has a Basic disclosure check selected within new RAS; Generating lists of applicant information from within the Web Recruitment application, selecting fields, saving criteria and exporting results to Excel (subject to normal vacancy security); and Allowing recruiters to access PDFs using bookmarked pages so that they can navigate more easily around an applicant pack, moving between applicants and documents. Diagram 1 below shows how the different HR systems link together in the recruitment process. Departments/institutions should transfer successful applicants to CHRIS using Web Recruitment and can then still record the details of the offer made to the successful applicant in the CHRIS Recruitment Module and return the CHRIS/10(A) Appointment Form with supporting documents to the HR New Appointment Team for processing. Future releases will add additional functionality, including the ability to record details of the offer within the Web Recruitment System. Queries relating to Web Recruitment should be directed to the CHRIS Helpdesk by ing chris.helpdesk@admin.cam.ac.uk. Copyright 2014 University of Cambridge Last Modified: July 2014 Page 3

6 2. Introduction This manual forms part of the set of documentation for the Web Recruitment application, which also includes: Managing vacancies within Web Recruitment; Generating correspondence within Web Recruitment; Requesting a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS); and Overview of the applicant process. This guide provides details of how to run the example reports for a vacancy, for applicants, for referees and how to produce a selection grid (which is pre-filled with applicant names and can be used for recording selection results). It also covers details of how to use the in-built report generator to create new reports that can be saved and run again. Further documentation including a quick reference guide, FAQs and Release Notes can be found on the HR Systems Web Pages. Copyright 2014 University of Cambridge Last Modified: July 2014 Page 5

7 3. Generating Applicant and Referee Reports It is possible to generate standard reports of applicant and referee details, as well as designing your own applicant and referee reports, from within the Web Recruitment System. These details can be used for: Mail merging correspondence not yet generated within the System (e.g. HR13 Invite to interview letters; Circulating lists to selectors/appointing bodies; and As a basis for a selection results grid (similar to the existing HR11 Selection Results template except that it is pre-filled with applicant names). 3.1 Accessing the reports The reports can be accessed from two different places from within Web Recruitment, as detailed below Running standard reports for a selected vacancy Select a vacancy and click on Manage Vacancy.
